How did you come up with this idea and why this name?

When I go the shop for buying something with my wife, she does negotiate with shopkeeper and get the best deal / discounts. She is hard negotiator. This struck to my mind why we cannot have negotiation platform in today’s e-commerce world.

This lead to idea of having real-time Auction platform for enabling each individuals across globe with power to negotiate and get better deal for their items and services. It also enable seller to get new business opportunity, customers and marketing opportunity across globe.

A Paddle Call takes place during the physical auction conducted during physical Auction. Since we are simulating physical live auction to online platform across globe, hence name “Paddleauction” name is derived.
